Searching for Servants' records for Windsor Castle
« on: Sunday 06 March 05 22:37 UTC (UK) »
Family information has my G Grandmother Alice Susan West in service at Windsor Castle prior to her marriage. ( born 1868, Windsor.  married 1886 so I assume she was in service 1884-5 ish)

Does anyone know if it is possible to verify this??? If there are any records - where will they be?

Pauline,
One of my gg aunts was a house maid at Windsor Castle. I found her in the 1891 & 1901 census.  To get more info about her service I wrote to:-

The Royal Archives
Windsor Castle
Windsor
Berkshire   SL4 1NJ

I enclosed an SAE and in return received a copy of an employment form filled in by my ggaunt showing her handwriting and signature.

I am sure if you do the same you will get a helpful reply.

Peter,

Thanks for this - I shall write and ask. At least then I will know if the family have got the story right!
